kannada text on emacs 23

[Bala]

Hello,

I am using GNU Emacs version 23.0.60.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.12.0) (package emacs-snapshot-20080228 from
http://ppa.launchpad.net/avassalotti/ubuntu although M-x version tells
me the snapshot date is 2008-03-07) on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (running on
Thinkpad T41). I have installed font packages emacs-intl-fonts as per
directions in the emacs manual online. I still can't see text written
in the Kannada language. All I see are boxes. Please help.

I can see Kannada text properly in other applications though (kate,
firefox, gvim, gedit etc.).

Thanks.
Bala.
